It is after all layers all the way down. Mostly technological protocols. But as the web is an increasingly a burgeoning social platform. I reckon the next really important layer will mediate sociological protocols. And these protocols will enable the natural emergence of that sense of social privacy, reputation, identity and trust we are used to experience in our normal everyday real life interactions.

I think you're making an interesting point but that it might be a bit abstract. In any modern state there's always going to be some sovereign body or other granting rights and access. There's no point worrying about which one it is. In this case more interesting questions would be "how are we going to fund it?" or "will it be operated by the BBC?" or "which one of Ofcom's options for public service media is this one?" or even "is this what Channel 4 have in mind with 4IP?"

Common values? Common language? Is this something that is UK-centric or more global? And common things (like the roads or parks) usually have some sort of entity that grants access to the commons and describes what can and cannot be done -- norms-creation. Would that role exist with the Common Platform and who would serve in that role? (do we not use words like governments or rules?) Is there another adjective that better describes this platform other than 'common'? Russ And can you elaborate ‘common’? Common values? Common language?
